Biography
Frankie Needles was born in New York City, New York in 1965 to a family of Italian descent, and he became an enforcer of the American Mafia under Don Armeteo. Needles was racist against African-Americans, and he was not afraid to insult Nino Brown and the members of his Cash Money Brothers gang whenever he was sent to demand a cut of their action after they stopped paying the Mafia in 1990. Needles was beaten up by Brown and had his ponytail cut off after he delivered a statuette of an African-American man lynching himself to Brown as a "gift from the Don", and he was sent out of the nightclub where the CMB hung out. Later, Needles was forced by NYPD officers Scotty Appleton and Nick Peretti to introduce them to CMB member Gee Money, allowing them to infiltrate the gang; Needles later set up an assassination attempt on Brown after the end of a wedding ceremony.
